Alberto Rossi (1858–1936) was an Italian painter from Turin, known for his blend of realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism. He studied at the Accademia Albertina in Turin and later developed a distinctive style marked by expressive brushwork and a keen sensitivity to light and color. Rossi's subjects included landscapes, still lifes, and genre scenes, often reflecting the life and atmosphere of his native Piedmont. While he never gained the fame of some contemporaries, his work remains an important part of Italy’s artistic evolution, bridging academic traditions with modernist influences.
